4 day week - struggling

Hi all,

I just wondered if anyone else is in the same boat as me. I work 4 days a week in an office based job, 3 of which I WFH. I spend Fridays with my toddler, and am currently 19 weeks pregnant. I'm finding the Fridays really hard going, especially as my son is napping less. I feel guilty that I struggle to look after him on my own for 1 day a week when others are doing it all week long. I'm just exhausted, and struggle to get out and do fun things with him as a result. I try my best and do lots of lower effort things like soft play, baking etc. But these things are still really hard and by midday I'm knackered. I do have low iron levels which I'm on tablets for which is probably not helping. Anyone else in the same boat? The mum guilt is real.

I'm so sorry you didn't get a reply to this. I also work time and I'm not pregnant but I still struggle on my days off at home with my toddler because it's hard bloody work. I don't have any advice to give other than to get more childcare if you can afford it. Easier said than done! Please don't feel guilty though. Congratulations on your pregnancy, I wish you all the best x
